What is Ultimate Keyword Hunter? (YouTube - 00:48 minutes). This video gives a great background on the application, on why it is useful - particularly in helping to rank well naturally in Google.

Ultimate Keyword Hunter - FREE Get LSI keywords tool (YouTube - 13 minutes). This second video by Tegran, gives a somewhat long-winded explanation of how to use the application. My own thoughts is that this is a brilliant application and very simple to use.
3. Using the Application
3.1. Settings Screen
The details for the Settings screen can be found in the 2nd YouTube video (01:53):
To search for the keyword phrases associated with "meteorites", use the following:
-
Word Count: You are probably not going to need 5-word phrases in the results, so a maximum of 4 is fine.
-
Site Count: I usually check the top 20 results in Google. Using just the top 10 results may not give you a proper spread of keywords.
-
Search Engine: Use the default "Google.com", unless you want results for a specific region. "Google.ie" is not available.
When you have entered the keyword (or keyword phrase) and changed the drop-down values, then click the "Parse Sites" button at the bottom left of the screen. When the parsing process is complete, you will get a "Parse Result" dialog box:
In this case, there are issues with 4 of the results ("4 failed."). These will be checked in the Analysis Screen.
3.2. Analysis Screen
The Analysis Screen lists the URLs from Google for the specific keyword search.
3.2.1. Listing of Links
The links are given in the order of the Google search results. It should not come as a suprise that Wikipedia entry is high in this particualr results list.
3.2.2. Problem Links
As noted in the Parse Result dialog, there are issues with 4 of the links. These results are unselected in the list of URLs. (The fourth problem link is near the bottom of the list and is not in this screen shot). When you hover over the link, you can see the specific problem. Among them are:
- Underlying connection was closed
-
Click on the link. If the page oepns in the browser, then select the link in the list. There is no permanent problem accessing the page.
- 404 Not Found error
-
Since the page cannot be returned, leave the link unselected.
3.2.3. Stop Words
The Stop Words button appears at the bottom of the list of URLs as seen in the first screen shot under the Listing of Links heading. To quote from the List of English Stop Words web page:
Stop Words are words which do not contain important significance to be used in Search Queries. Usually these words are filtered out from search queries because they return vast amount of unnecessary information.
xpo6.com
The list of Stop Words in Ultimate Keyword Hunter may have been based on the list from this web page.
Click on the Stop Words button to display the list. If you feel that some of these words might be significant to your particular search query, then remove them from the list. They will then appear in your keyword results.
3.2.4. Analyse the URLs
When you are done with this screen, click the Analize button at the bottom left. This will start the process of generating single word, 2-word and 3-word phrases from the selected URLs.
Once complete, the Analisys Result dialog appears:
3.3. Analysis Result Screen
This screen shows the One Word, Two Word, Three Word and Four Word phrases extracted from the selected URL pages.
-
Single Word listing
Here, the 1-Word tab is selected. I have filtered the initial results, but the basic screen is as follows:
|
Note
|
The three columns (Word, Total Count, and Site Count) can all be sorted separately by clicking on their headings. |
In the screen shot, the list is sorted descending by Total Count. This will apply to all the different phrase lengths until another column is sorted. This can be seen here:
-
Two Word Phrase listing
-
Three Word Phrase listing
-
Four Word Phrase listing
3.3.1. Changing the Filters
The filtering on the Analysis Results screen is very useful. The three filters are for:
-
Total Count
-
Site Count
-
Keyword Text
I first change the Site Counts at least value. In my opinon, for 20 result pages in Google, the single word should appear on at least 5 or more of the those pages. This is why the value "Site count at least" is set to 4 in the first screen shot.
My suggestions for this value would be as follows for the different phrase lengths:
| Phrase Length | Site Count at Least |
|---|---|
1-Word |
4 |
2-Word |
1 |
3-Word |
1 |
4-Word |
1 |
|
Note
|
These values are suggestions. Depending on your keyword, you may need to experiment with these values. |
Once you have changed the Site Counts at least value, then you can change the Total Counts at Least value as required.
The Text filter is probably not going to be used much, unless you have a large number of keyword / keyword phrases and you want to select all that contain a particular word or phrase.
3.3.2. Exporting the Results
At the bottom of the Analysis Results screen are two export options:
-
Copy to Clipboard
This copies only the keywords to the clipboard. If you want a simple text listing of the keywords, this is the best option. You can paste the listing into your blog post, for example, and work through the listing as you generate your content.
-
Export to CSV
This option allows you to also copy the count values as well as the keywords. The CSV file can be imported into Excel, for example, and you can sort and filter the listing as required.
3.4. Preview Screen
The intial Preview Screen is blank. To load the keywords, click the Load LSI Words from Analysis button from the column on the right-hand side of the application:
This loads an alphabetised list of all the keywords into the Used LSI Words pane at the top-right of the screen:
Initially all of the values are zero as shown above.
However, if I load an article (for example, from https://www.meteorite.com/) into the Text area, the values change:
|
Note
|
This is the key to writing good well-themed content. |
Some of our selected keywords are not used in the article. This can be seen as the list is scrolled down:
The key idea is that all of the critical words are used in your blog post. The Meteorite: Learn About Meteorites, Meteors & Meteorites For Sale article is well-themed. However, I would criticise it for keyword stuffing the most used words:
A keyword density of 5% is the recommended maximum. The words meterorites, meteorite and iron are seriously overused on this particular web page. However, it is not penalised by Google as it currently appears second in the SERP for the base keyword phrase.
3.5. Resulting Keywords
I selected what I thought were interesting keywords from the Analysis Screen. Again, I am not an expert on this topic. The lists are for illustration only, but they demonstrate the power and versatility of the software application.

14 |
5 |

12 |
6 |
An interested person or an expert, could probably explain the significance of chondrite, achondrites, pallasites, chondrules or chelyabinsk.
But this is the point of the application! It delivers the words and phrases that Google thinks are significant in the light of the searched keyword or keyword phrase. It is up to the user to now create the content to go with the keywords.
3.5.2. 2-Word Phrases
| Word | Total Count | Site Count |
|---|---|---|

5 |

8 |
3 |

5 |
They are obviously going to be fewer two-word phrases, but the ones selected are probably significant and a number should be judiciously included in a blog post.
3.5.3. 3-Word Phrases
| Word | Total Count | Site Count |
|---|---|---|

The longer keyword phrases are obviously more specialised. They are probably very few that can be used in a blog post, but, in any case, Google has ranked these phrases in the top twenty results and therefore they would have some significance.
3.5.4. 4-Word Phrases
| Word | Total Count | Site Count |
|---|---|---|

4 |
3 |
impact craters on earth |
4 |
2 |
national aeronautics and space |
4 |
2 |

3 |
2 |
These very long phrases are more than likely only going to be used just once in a blog post. Again, this is at the discretion of the content author.
